About the Role

Aurora Solar is seeking mindful and strategic product managers who are passionate about creating simple, delightful, and impactful solutions to complex challenges. Our product managers are dedicated to understanding our customers' needs and ensuring their voices are represented in every decision. We are currently hiring for two roles in two of our Pods - 1) Proposals: In this role, you will manage the solar sales journey, enabling sales representatives to close more deals seamlessly and efficiently, from proposal to signed contract, while providing a valuable and delightful experience for homeowners across both products. 2) Financing: In this role, you will also manage how solar systems are priced and financed through integrated financial offerings, and how incentives are applied to reduce costs. You will work closely with third-party partners to bring integrated financing products to market. 

We would consider either a Senior Product Manager or a Staff Product Manager for these positions.
